fallen[fk] Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 Originally posted by Emon 1. That "worm" is a Sarlacc. 2. I think that Luke shot is modified. Parts look rounded off, and I doubt they have that 3D hair ingame. Also, the lightsaber has been clearly made in Photoshop or a similar program. How can you say that's a sarlacc. First of all it's in the middle of some kind of base. Secondly, it looks nothing like the sarlacc from ROTJ, there's no tentacles. It looks more like a spice worm from Dune than a sarlacc, and there's no caption either. So please don't put names to things without proof.
boinga1 Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 http://www.swjediacademy.com has been updated with those models/screens...and btw, Can anyone tell what's going on here?
the_havoc Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Nothing special , just that the lightsaber of the Kel Dor is in an angle that it looks like if he has a ball of energy.
Swat Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 It looks a little too thin to be a lightsaber, don't you think? Anyway thanks for the heads-up boinga1
Lil Killa Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Originally posted by the_havoc Nothing special , just that the lightsaber of the Kel Dor is in an angle that it looks like if he has a ball of energy. I see how thats possible but whats the thin streak of light?
Andy867 Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 That thing you see in near his hand is actually just an energy trail from the Force power that he is using, it would seem. Its much to thin to be a lightsaber, especially since there is no hilt in his hand. Its just a trail of energy, simple as that. Like the trail left of a lightsaber. That same principle.
Lil Killa Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 I got a new theory. What if in that pic he was calling his saber back to him after he dropped it. That would explain the trail of light and the odd possition of the saber that makes it look like an energy ball and also could explain the absence of the hilt. (it just hit the hand so it hasn't reapeared yet)
Andy867 Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 The solution is simple... what happens when light energy is put into motion? It creates an afterimage, and to the human eye, it appears as a trail, hence the reason why the Kel Doran has a twisted torso.. He was going to use the Force, hence the energy, which in turn, made the comet trail of energy near his fist.
JediLurker Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Looks to me like he is in fact holding a lightsaber in that hand. If you look at his other hand, the lightsaber's handle is pitch black. The geometric black spot on the hand in question is the bottom of the lightsaber handle and the blade of the saber, the intense yellow glow around the hand, is pointed away from the camera. The thin yellow streak is the lightsaber trail. In other words, he's swinging it. Another reason I believe this is that all of the shots of the Kel Dor from the same level, like the one below, show him holding two lightsabers, a yellow one in his right hand, like in the picture and a purple one in his left. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what's going on. Edit: Added picture.
StormHammer Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Well, it's quite obvious to me that these guys are part of a circus act. 'Strongarm' Kel Dor is holding a thin line with a lightbulb on the end (their special fx budget was quite small), while his partner is walking the tightrope with the aid of a balancing glow-stick. It's obviously a practice run for the 'Walking The Chasm' act. On a more serious note, I haven't a clue, but I suspect all will be revealed when we play the game. I like the close-up character shots. Nice attention to detail in all of those. The Wampa looks suitably fierce. Luke looks like he's having a bad day. Kyle seriously needs to get someone in to manage his wardrode. That still looks like a young Sarlacc to me. Chewie looks good too. I love the crashed space craft. The game is looking great. Keep up the great work, Raven!
Rockstar Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 i hope they don't make luke go to the dark side. thats just dicking around with things too much, if anything maybe kyle go to the dark side, but if lukes dad couldn't make him evil then Raven would portray him as so weak if he fell to the dark side for some other reason.
taekwondo joe Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Originally posted by Andy867 Possible, but whats up with him continuing to wear black. I mean, why not try something new, because as E! would, say, his clothes are a fashion EMERGENCY!. But anyways, it is possible that he gets tempted. i could see it now yeah, E! reviews the game, and makes crash comments about his cloths, lol any way these screens are old, been out for at least a week
Reprehence Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 I keep wondering what this crystal room is where we see the kel dor(and E3 demo) is fighting. Is this a tie to the crystals in JO? Could this be the greatly hoped for practice arena where one can hone jedi skills before putting jedi necks on the line in missions? Or is this a demo level that is created for play testing and will be released months after the game as a demo unplayable from within the game itself?
Anakin1607 Posted July 12, 2003 Author Posted July 12, 2003 Ah so Luke looking indimidating = automatic darksider? I think you guys have an overactive imagination. If YOUR foster parents were brutally killed, you fought in a war for a decade or two, fought your father who was a Sith Lord, and gotten the crap beat out of you a few times. You'd probably look worn out and aggresive looking too.
JaledDur Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Whoever said it was a lightsaber was correct. The thin line you see is the saber trail. The saber trail is a near-one dimensional effect in JO, and I dont see why it would be any different in JA.
Emon Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 The teeth, or spikes, or whatever they are, inside of it are exactly like that of the Sarlacc in RotJ. Sarlacc are more than just holes in the ground with tenticles, larger parts can reach out. They probably didn't want to animate all the other tenticles, or they aren't shown here. Not only this, but it's on Tatooine, and it's clearly the only logical explination. Two dimensional, really.
HaruGlory89 Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 Luke looks like some Dark Jedi really p**sed him off.( I hope it ain't wrong if I censor the words:D )
